Le Roc des Anges "Llum" white dry 2020

Comment from the domaine : Its lace-like style between crystal and minerality comes directly from the very shallow soils of clay-free schists.

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Advice for opening our wines : Do not serve too cold. They have low alcohol and low pH, so there is no need to seek balance through cold; it would only disrupt the mouthfeel and thus miss the wine. Serve at 13° in the glass to enjoy between 15 and 18 °. The end of the bottle is always better, meaning when the wine has had enough air and has warmed up! At that point, the wines express 100% of their nuances, including the delicacy that only reveals itself when "warm" and exposed to air.

Grapes : 50% Grenache gris, 50% Maccabeu.

Terroir : shallow soils of ancient schists derived from the compression of pure clays, rich in silica. North-facing slope of Força Réal, village of Montner, Pyrénées - Orientales.
